convert to text problem
I have two long columns of numbers...One formatted as currency...And one as
number with the 'thousand's' separating comma. I need to convert these both to 'numbers as text'...but I can not figure out how to keep the dollar signs and the commas...which I need ? How would I take a column of about 3,000 entries formatted as currency ( $230,545 ) and convert it to 'text as number' while keeping the $ and , in the final number ? Everything I have tried in the 'numbers to text' function removes the $ & , Thanks, Tim |

=TEXT(A1,"$#,##0.00") and fill down. You can also copy/paste special values
on top of original and you'll still have the $ and comma. Bob Umlas Excel MVP "Tim" wrote in message ...
